Dplus is an award-winning, multinational design firm with a team of 300+ design professionals.

Founded in 1972 as DGBK architects, we have grown up to be an internationally renowned practice providing architecture, urban planning and landscaping services from concept to completion.

We develop architecture in an ever-evolving process that continuously challenges the boundaries of architectural practice. That curiosity leads to technological innovations, valuable community engagements, and ultimately to positive changes in people’s lives. We take projects beyond what’s expected, and beyond what’s trending, to deliver places that maximize the potential.

Dplus has designed and delivered 1300+ projects throughout North America, Asia, and the Pacific Rim and across sectors of master planning, commercial, civic, hospitality, culture, education, mixed-use, residential, and healthcare.
